Arranging the work for the A4
Need an emissions test for your 1998 Audi A4? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Details the shop needs
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo. Power comes from the 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed manual.
From request to repair
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Car care, briefly
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Get an offer
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request emissions test
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
